Hello,
First time contacting a kernel mailing list.
I've been trying to fix the wireless on my laptop ( MacBookPro12,1 ). It has
very weak signal strength. I have at least partially read through the
following:

I created empty files at `/lib/firmware/{brcmfmac43602-pcie.Apple\
Inc.-MacBookPro14\,2.txt,brcmfmac43602-pcie.txt}`
```
$ dmesg | grep brcm

```
What I think may need to happen is to have a particular configuration added
like
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b.txt
as `brcmfmac43602-pcie.txt` in order to make the full range of channels
available, and by that improve signal strength, but this is only a shot in the
dark.
